Looking at the direction in which the car left, Fu Xue grabbed the package in her hand for some reason and held it tightly, as if she wanted to hold something.

When the car was gone, she relaxed her tense body.

Mother Fu beside her sighed, "Good person, it's so good, it's good to be a good person, you must have a family." ”

Fu Xue couldn't say anything, and still didn't understand and asked, "Mom, this is someone's private matter, what do you think?" ”

Fu's mother frowned and looked at Fu Xue, her eyebrows were about to be brought together, and she sighed bitterly for a while, "I just think, my family is so good, a girl can always find a rich family, no matter how bad it is, it is a good family, why does your grandmother want you to marry a fool, those twenty yuan is a lot, but if you take the money, your life will be ruined." ”

Thinking of Fu Xue's marriage, Fu's mother felt aggrieved, but she had no ability and couldn't speak at home, otherwise she wouldn't have made trouble and followed her daughter out.

But now, what about after it comes out?

Fu Mu looked at the huge market square, the sky was bright at this time, and in the dim light, it was like an incomparably wide Shura battlefield, no matter how you looked at it, you couldn't see the light.

"Snow, when are we going to hide? Otherwise, let's go to your uncle's! ”

Fu Xue shook her head firmly, it is not a good way to go anywhere at this time, only escape can be the way out.

"Mom, you don't know the situation of your uncle, the poor family can't open the pot, we can only cause trouble if we go, so forget it. Let's go, find a place to live first, and then I will find a way to go back, and I will never starve to death if I have hands and feet. ”

There are many snack bars around the market, and there are already carts pulling goods in the square to the west, and several men are squatting together and bowing their heads for breakfast.

Hearing the footsteps, one of the bearded uncles stood up and looked at the two, glanced at the two of them, and then asked, "Are you here to pick up the goods or are you here to find work?" We don't want women, you can't move that.

Fu Xue paused, his eyes swept over the breakfast eaten by several people, pickled steamed buns, and a large pot of egg custard, steaming, and the aroma wafted out of the basin, like a hungry lazy worm tied to Fu Xue's stomach, screaming.

She swallowed her saliva, pulled a smile and asked, "Uncle, are you all here to sell mountain goods, and you usually need workers, don't you?" That's how to calculate wages? ”

The uncle lowered his head and took a sip of egg custard, and took a satisfied breath before replying, "Even if you count the money on the day, moving things is calculated by piece, do you see it?" He turned back and pointed to a corner of the car.

Fu Xue looked over, and under the cloth was a piece of medicinal herbs tied with hemp rope, and the bundle was seventy or eighty catties, and she would definitely not be able to move it.

But Fu Xue still continued to ask, "I saw it, so how do you calculate the money?" ”

"One piece, you can also be two people together, but I'll give you one piece. Recently, the price has increased, and it was only given eight points before. Are you looking for a job for your man? Then call him on, there are too many mountain goods recently, and there are not enough people. ”

Fu Xue used to do a lot of hard work, at that time, work-study worked two jobs and had to take classes to do projects, serve dishes in the bar, move goods in the supermarket, and lose eight pounds in a month, but the physical work was really a drizzle compared to this.

Fu Xue has the heart to do it, but she really doesn't have the strength.

"Ah, yes, I'll go back and ask my family, and I'll come back and look for my uncle directly, can you see it?"

The uncle smiled, wiped the soup on his face, squatted down and continued to eat.

Fu Xue was a little disappointed, but she was still a little reluctant to look at those mountain goods, and subconsciously asked her mother, who was still frowning beside her, "Mom, doesn't our family also have to go up the mountain every year to pick mountain goods, herbs and some nuts, so it's a lot of money, right?" Why didn't I see a car coming to collect it? ”

"There is no road in the mountains, usually I send it with your uncle next door, and someone drives over to buy it at a low price when I cross the river on my back. Money words...... It's all for your grandma. ”

In fact, her family's income is okay, at least she won't go hungry, the mother and daughter are frugal and her father will get some money back at the end of the year, which can always meet the expenses of the year.

It's a pity that because of her serious patriarchal thinking, she Fu Xue is not regarded as a person at home. There is extra money at home, and there is money and things for extra things, even if the hen in the yard of the house gives birth to two more eggs, it must be sent to the useless "incense".

Thinking of this, Fu Xue became angry.

"Mom, if we go back to the mountains one day and continue to live like this, then the money and things can't be sent to my aunt anymore. Those are all white-eyed wolves. ”

Fu's mother didn't even sigh, her heart was bitter, her heart was sour, and she swallowed it all in her stomach.

After tossing all night, the two were sleepy and hungry, but they only had a little money on them, and they couldn't spend it indiscriminately.

Fu Xue stood at the door of the breakfast snack bar with a dime and five in her hand, but she still didn't have the courage to walk in.

Fu's mother lowered her head and rummaged through the innermost layer of clothes for a while, and stuffed a few cents of money to Fu Xue, "Xue, Mom is not hungry, can you buy something to eat?" ”

Fu Xue lowered her head and counted it carefully several times, one point, five points, it seems like a lot, but in fact, it is more than one piece in total.

"Mom, let's fill our stomachs first, and then I'll go find a job."

People are iron and steel, and if you are hungry, you really don't have the energy to do anything.

Fu Xue was ruthless and bought seven steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk, spending a total of one dime and seven.

Two people huddled in the corner to eat and drink, and one steamed bun per person is enough to fill their stomachs.

Mother Fu had a headache, her whole body hurt, and she muttered, "Hey, it's too expensive, it's too expensive, it's enough for us to eat for a month in the mountains." ”

Fu Xue smiled and didn't say anything, wrapped the remaining steamed buns and stuffed them into the bag and dragged her mother out.

In the 80s, it seemed desolate, but in fact, there were business opportunities and opportunities everywhere.

But everything you do requires capital and experience, otherwise she will be useless here even if she has a high diploma.

The sky gradually brightened, and there were more and more people, and the mother and daughter were too tired to go around the market twice.

The two of them squatted on the stone bench on the edge of the market to rest, Fu's mother took a handkerchief to wipe her face, and Fu Xue took it to watch the people come and go.

Her mind is full of business experience, but it is not easy to sit up in such an era of scarcity of materials.

In the end, she decided to start with the mountain goods that she and the original owner were familiar with.

"Mom, I'll go over there and ask, you're waiting here for me not to walk around, do you hear?"

Fu Xue wanted to inquire about the general situation first, what she wanted to do and what she could do, she had to plan it, which was her experience and habit of working for many years.

Fu's mother nodded obediently, worried that Fu Xue would be lost, and repeatedly explained, "Don't go far, mom won't go, I'll wait for you here, don't go far." ”

Fu Xue settled her mother, got up and stretched, yawned a lot, and casually poured the water in the kettle to wipe her face, and then blended into the crowd.

To the east of the town, near the bazaar, there is a large square where all the vehicles come and go.

The big trucks of the 80s didn't look very big, but they drove with a lot of horsepower, and the whirring cars drowned out a lot of the bustle of the market.

Fu Xue spared a circle, and finally took a fancy to an aunt with the loudest voice in the crowd, squeezing the waist of the cat and drilling inside.

"Auntie, auntie, you just shouted for workers, I can do it, I can do it." Fu Xue slapped her chest violently.

The aunt looked back at her, "No, no, no, the little girl can't do physical work, don't make trouble." ”

A few men who were looking up and taking the sign saw Fu Xue and laughed.

Fu Xue continued to shout indifferently, "Why can't I do physical work, it's too heavy to lift, it's okay to be lighter, auntie, can't you just help?" ”

The aunt was about to speak, but was interrupted by a man's interjection, the man came over with a grin, looked Fu Xue up and down with bad intentions, squinted his eyes and asked, "The little girl can indeed do physical work, I have it, do you want to go?" ”

Fu Xue's eyes lit up, but looking at the man like this, he had bad intentions, and finally asked, "What is it, tell me?" ”

"Can you have a baby? The crop man has good physical strength, can you do it with your arms and legs? ”

There was silence for a few seconds, and everyone laughed.
